Suggestions for excellent hospital for cancer surgery for dog in Jupiter FL

Chelsea (10 lb Sheltie)– 12.5 years old has a .45 X .5 tumor in her bladder in the front (where they say it can be operated on).  I was thinking of laser surgery but have spoken to a Dr. who said perhaps regular surgery is best to get clear margins.   Any excellent hospitals or names of Dr’s would be appreciated.  Thank you. Carol

    Try the Veterinary College in Gainsville or Florida Vet Specialist in Tampa.
    Good luck.

    Despite it’s location, this tumor is almost ALWAYS non-operable. Try chemotherapy.

    CAROL: I am also from Jupiter, and have a 12 year old standard poodle with the same bladder tumor condition. Can you update me as to what you learned and where you selected for your dog’s treatment? Thanks.
